Maven Resource Loader

[ms5984]

Abstract

That's why I don't wanna host jars at all, I wanna rely on the Maven repository format. Central especially they make sure stuff is safe, we would get the jars, checksums, .asc signatures and verify everything by default

Requirements

• Support programmatic usage--such as to enable current JVM state to control loading (skip an artifact completely if its classes are already present on the class path)
• Support using a manifest file (possibly .properties as that is very well supported)
• Resolve artifacts using exact GAV coordinates (don't allow magic versions like LATEST)
  • Support SNAPSHOT artifacts (may need to be able to parse Maven metadata)
  • Support classifiers
• Can load artifacts async or block until ready
